The Brit stopped Klitschko in the 11th round of what was one of the best heavyweight title fights the sport has seen in years.

The 41-year-old Klitschko recovered from being downed by Joshua in the fifth round, taking Joshua down onto the canvas a round later, but was on the receiving end of a barrage of punches in the penultimate round before the referee stepped in.

And following the historic fight in front of 90,000 fans under the Wembley arch, Joshua took to Instagram to pay tribute to his downed foe.
